Contemporary Management by Jones and George distinguishes itself through its authorship, comprehensive, current contents, rich and relevant examples and applications and experiential exercises provided in every single chapter. This #1 best-selling text continues to redefine what principles of management texts should look, sound, and feel like. As an author team Gareth Jones and Jennifer George are uniquely qualified to write about both the strategic and organizational challenges managers face. Contemporary Management is a comprehensive text that surveys the theoretical underpinnings of modern management thought and research. Through a variety of examples from an expanded number of small business to medium and large companies it shows the reader how those ideas are used by practicing managers. A hallmark of this text is its focus on the “Manager as a Person,” which discusses managers as real people with their own personalities, strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and problems.

5.0 out of 5 stars Looks brand new and came fast!

The book practically looks brand new, just can't tell the difference between mines and a new one. Came very fast. Although the package was mistreated during its journey from the seller and caused a small tear on the front hardcover of the book, I still give it a five star rating because I guess that's not the seller fault but only of the USPS.

3.0 out of 5 stars New/Used?
Reviewed in the United States on 4 October 2009

It took quite a while for the book to actually arrive but when it did it arrived in a good manner. And it should have because I was buying it new...or so the site said. Granted the pages are not highlighted and the outside is not beat up this book is definitely not new. There was writing and marks at the end of every chapter. For the most part I got what I needed out of the book but I'm irate that I paid a "new" price. If I wanted a used book I would have searched for one. The book was required for a class I am taking and was slightly less than the bookstore at the college.
